Overclocking is a process where you make the CPU faster. You can also do this to the memory and video card too. However, it becomes critical to have a quality-made power supply if you want to overclock. Low-quality power supplies have low-quality parts inside such as cheap capacitors, and this can lead to all kinds of system instability, such as poor performance, lock-ups, and BSODs.

This is not normal. Your RAM is bad, or your system is incorrectly configured. Even just 1 error means that you have a problem. If you have overclocked your machine, or selected aggressive RAM timings in your BIOS you should try more conservative settings before judging the RAM fully bad. If you can't get MemTest to run without errors even with conservative BIOS settings, however, your RAM is bad. Replace it, or you will experience stability and corruption problems. Correctly functioning RAM has no errors, even if you run MemTest for days.
